Fiorentina looking at Roma winger as alternative to Barcelona forward

Ljajic is unwanted by the Giallorossi and has attracted the interest of of Torino after Inter decided not take up their option to sign the Serbian international on a permanent basis following his season-long loan at the Stadio Meazza.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, La Viola are still trying to complete another loan deal for Cristian Tello with an option to buy the Spaniard at the end of the season, but director of football Pantaleo Corvino will turn his attentions to Ljajic should negotiations for the former Porto winger fail,

However, Roma’s asking price, believed to be €7 million, is currently too much for Fiorentina who are only prepared to offer I Lupi €5 million for the 24-year-old.

Ljajic appeared 25 times in Serie A last season for the Nerazzurri, scoring three goals.
